Un Automne a Pekin by Lydia Courteille Lydia Courteille presents her latest collection directly directly inspired by Feng Shui, including the cicada, the frog, the dragon, the fish, each symbolizing luck, wealth, prosperity and longevity. But the connection to Chinese art is also inspired by architecture, embroidery, clothing.... Chinese culture is immense and ancestral, Lydia Courteille tried to immerse in her own way and freely revisit the symbols of pottery, of bats flying in peach trees, painted on porcelain - symbol of wealth and prosperity. This is indeed the challenge Lydia Courteille took by unveiling a tiny bit of this wonderful country. This collection is also characterized by the use of icy jade, or transparent white jade and constitutes the DNA of most of the pieces, in order to educate our customers, who are unfamiliar, that jade is not necessarily green or lavender. Indeed, the green jade represents the royal color of the empress, but it is also possible to find brown or even black jade ... Entering in the world of China is opening a box of Pandora from where thousands of charms and benevolent characters escape. It will certainly be an endless collection, since the sources of inspirations are varied, each animal or even the positioning of the animal on a jewel can generate a different meaning...

Ame Gallery presents "Scents of Life" The exhibition explores the interplay between sense of smell and memory International artists visualize the dynamic through contemporary jewellery “The smell of freshly mown lawn reminds me of my school days.” “I miss the smell of newspaper ink. It stirs up my childhood memory of my father reading the paper at breakfast.” “The smell of rust gives me goose bumps!” The sense of smell is considered to be one of the most sensitive senses of human experience. It is closely linked with memory, probably more so than any of our other senses. The Different scents of life can bring back memories that stir-up both pleasant and unpleasant emotions. The exhibition “Scents of Life” explores the interplay between smell and memory through the medium of contemporary jewellery. 7 artists from around the world will showcase their work at Ame Gallery from 18 March – 29 April. Anna Cheng, Founder of Ame Gallery said, “I am always fascinated by how the sense of smell is closely linked to emotions and memories. A familiar smell has the power to evoke a lost memory. Through this exhibition, we aim to create direct communication between artists and audience. By means of the jewellery pieces presented by the artists, the audience may share a little piece of the memory evoked by a particular scent that has a special place in the artist’s life.” Participate artists: Plilz AY (HK) 歐陽文儀 (香港) Chan Po Fung (HK) 陳寶峰(香港) Corrado De Meo (Italy, 意大利) Paola Mirai (Italy, 意大利) Elizabeth Shaw (Australia, 澳洲) Susanna Strati (Australia, 澳洲) Eva van Kempen (Netherlands, 荷蘭)

Ame Gallery debuts at international contemporary jewellery fair JOYA Barcelona To celebrate the Gallery’s 3rd anniversary, it will bring Hong Kong contemporary jewelry artists to the world’s stage. To celebrate its third anniversary, Ame Gallery takes Hong Kong contemporary jewellery to another level. “Via Hong Kong” will be the Gallery’s debut exhibition at JOYA – the international contemporary jewellery fair in Barcelona, Spain. It will feature works of Hong Kong jewellery artists and designers who are based here and aboard. The exhibition is curated by Anna Cheng, founder of Ame Gallery and Dr. Cicy Ching, lecturer of Faculty of Visual Art, Hong Kong Baptist University. It is a collective effort to bring Hong Kong contemporary jewellery to the world’s stage. Hong Kong, being a gateway to China and the world, is a melting pot of cultures and the city forms a unique character that affects the people who are connected with it. The artists featured in “Via Hong Kong” come from different backgrounds. Some of them are currently living and working in Hong Kong, while others lived here at some point in their lives. Through this exhibition, Ame Gallery aims to demonstrate how Hong Kong has nurtured some contemporary jewellery talents. The concepts of some of the works presented at the exhibition have touched on various issues that are close to the heart of Hong Kong people. Cicy Ching’s “Fragility of City” explores the relationships and pace of living in this metropolis. Chan Po Fung’s “The Chinese dream of train” illustrates how people are forced to behave under the current political environment. The concept of beauty being perceived by women in the city is explored in Cherry Chan’s “Peculiar Extension”. These ideas make their works unique to Hong Kong, yet they also resonate universally. As one of the few galleries in Hong Kong that specializes in contemporary jewellery, Ame Gallery aims to raise awareness of contemporary jewellery, widen the audience base and facilitate a healthy eco-system of this specialized art form in Hong Kong. Anna Cheng said, “We curate ‘Via Hong Kong’ to showcase the great works of Hong Kong’s local artists. Since it is Ame Gallery’s third anniversary, we also want to take this opportunity to unite the contemporary jewellery community in Hong Kong, which includes some dedicated artists, educators and supporters. We believe through working together, we can create a healthy environment for this art form to blossom in this city. By bringing the exhibition to JOYA, we hope to encourage more artistic and cultural exchanges between Hong Kong and the world.” The exhibition will be held at Ame Gallery in Hong Kong from 16 – 27 September and JOYA in Barcelona from 9 -11 October. #exhibition #hongkongartist #joyabarcelona
